  1. Toyota FT-1 concept & A90 Supra design dissected

    Not all and there are big differences for anyone that is not blind. The Taurus, Focus and Fusion all have different grill shapes despite shared design language. The F150 and Escape are also totally distinct. Lexus on the other hand has adopted the hourglass grill across the board even on the...
  2. Should Toyota Supra keep FT-1 2+2 configuration? Or lose backseats?

    10% smaller still puts it well within the territory of other 2+2 cars. The FT-1 is a pretty large car. We all know functional backseats can be done with smaller cars a la FR-S etc.
  3. The MKIV vs MKV Thread

    Still a beautiful car for its time. I read comments online and a few criticisms are the FT1 is too stylized. I love it but I can see where they are coming from. The MKIV looked great while being pretty simple design wise. Addition by subtraction kind of thing..
  4. Will FT-1 concept follow the FT-86 timeline?

    Most spy photos you see are staged by the manufacturer in the sense that they only show u what they want to show. It's a form of marketing and generating hype. Question is...does the next Supra really need it?
  5. The Pricing Thread + Potential US Tariffs Impact

    There are almost no domestic cars that get me excited. Not just because a lot of them are poor quality and pretty ugly but when youre talking Ford, Dodge, Chevy, those are high volume sellers that you see everywhere. I mean occasionally I'll spot a Viper and it's kinda cool to see but not like...
  6. 2020 Supra Transmission Chat - Manual, Dual Clutch, or Auto?

    Any word yet what the LF-LC production car will get as a transmission? Might tell us what the FT-1 will get.
  7. Toyota wins 2014 FIA WEC Driver and Manufacturers Championship

    Congrats Toyota and drivers! First time in 15 years :bow:
  8. Will the 2017 Supra use carbon fiber?

    True but they also don't have a joint project deal with BMW. I'm surprised that so few exotics use carbon fiber tubs considering that there's now cars like the 4C and i3 with them and don't cost more than about $50k. Seems like it might be cheaper for some companies to use than others? I think...
  9. What are you ok / not ok with new Supra sharing with BMW

    The only thing we really know about what the Supra and BMW sports car will be sharing is some kind of shared platform but what about everything else - engine, suspension, tranmission, driving aids, technology, styling? Personally I just want BMW's carbon fiber chassis and maybe suspension since...
  10. Will the 2017 Supra use carbon fiber?

    I'd actually be surprised if the supra doesn't get a carbon tub. If a $40k i3 has it, then a $60k Supra should easily have one. Would be cool if they leave some of it exposed too just like on the i3/i8 and others cars like the Alfa 4c.
  11. FT-1 MKV Supra Benchmarks?

    Agree that the base C7 is not good enough of an aspirational benchmark. Consider that the GT350 Mustang is said to have been benchmarked against the 911, Ferrari California, Z28. I'd expect right around this range... and in 2 years there will be a few newer and better cars to be benchmarked against.
  12. MKV Toyota Supra Photoshops & Renders based on FT-1 & Prototypes

    Red for me. But in a darker red like this instead of the concept red.
  13. Mustang vs FT1 Supra

    Damn that's cheap for that performance level! A lot to pay for an American car for sure. It's actually great that the Supra is still in development while all these great cars hit the market. Something to benchmark and price properly against should mean the car will as good if not better.
  14. Will FT-1 concept follow the FT-86 timeline?

    It's also a more polarizing design. Mass produced cars tend to be made to capture the most sales which means more mainstream. Sad but true. The FT-1 also will see this happen
  15. Toyota may build Supra convertible / targa instead of 86 convertible

    http://www.supra5forum.com/forums/threads/toyota-may-build-ft-1-convertible-instead-of-86-convertible.45/ Already hinted at recently. Straight from Tada san: "There are many articles regarding another sports model from Toyota up higher from 86. I'm thinking convertible model will be on...
  16. Toyota Supra rumored to be offered with 2.0L turbo 4-cylinder base model

    There's a differnce between being able to output 400 and being able to do it reliably, safely and offered with a factory warranty.
  17. Toyota confirmed 3 sports car lineup: Toyota exec wants to bring back Celica, MR2

    Size wise the Lexus RC matches pretty well. RC-F, LC, and an SC successor
  18. Mustang vs FT1 Supra

    The car is pretty imrpessive I have to say. I read that they benchmarked it against some serious cars 911S, Ferrari California, etc If I could get over the weight and the fact that it's still just a mustang I would consider it for performance alone.
  19. News: BMW FT1 Supra Project Moves Into Concept Stage

    It's really no wonder BMW decided to go in on a sports car platform development together. They think that the sports car market hey day is over and may never recover to its heights. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-11-11/bmw-sees-sports-car-heyday-over-as-super-rich-eyes-wander.html So this...
